Piano teacher?

another option is krunual piano studio on soi ari 2, it's a small setup run by a thai teacher who studied at silpakorn. she's good with adults who want to learn casually, not just kids. lessons are 600 baht for an hour and she's flexible with scheduling, just message her on line

i'd check out the bangkok music society on facebook, they have a classifieds section where teachers post openings pretty regularly. there's a guy named pong who teaches near the ari bts exit 3, he does more classical stuff but also modern if u ask. rates are usually 500-800 baht depending on if u go to his place or he comes to yours

There's a music school called Bansomdej Music Academy near the Saphan Khwai BTS that does piano lessons, prob a 10 minute walk from Ari. They have both Thai and Western teachers, rates are around 500-700 baht per hour last I checked. I'd also check the noticeboard at Ari's Velo cafe, sometimes teachers post flyers there.

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
